When government sets the price (price controls) and pays for the shortfall, it’s called subsidizing the supply chain. PBAT have not even recouped the money used to secure power, not to mention seeking profit which is the goal of every businessman Afterwards, he will bury roots in the federal purse to continue the loot, same way Lagos was pocketed. 20 Likes |

Gerrard59: IbeOkehie: Not everyone will have same economic purchasing power to procure healthcare services be it free market or otherwise. The priority should be quality which free market has the potential to deliver. I reckon other players will tap in with solutions to cater for the economically disadvantaged populace via healthcare schemes and credit system. The major focus is the needed reforms to guide the industry modus operandi. 1 Like |

emmaodet: tensazangetsu20: I.T space constitutes a part of the global employment index by sector and not its entirety. This means that there are many other industries (think blue-collar gigs) where physical certifications is still a commanding factor. One of those is the maritime industry where some STCW courses abroad has more chances of getting you onboard and also influence promotion chances (depending on experience level) compared to Nigerian certs. 1 Like 1 Share |

correctguy101: There’s a tendency of high commitment levels to any given project/assigment if the person/team stands to see the project come to life. By young (which is relatively subjective) I mean a leadership team less than 50years with vision and mental tact. If we streamline this the Nigeria for instance, you will agree with me that the decadence will take decades of reengineering to get the country back on track. I read on the newspaper long ago about a foreign firm that wanted to partner with Imo state government by investing billions of dollars into Adapalm for development and management of the palm plantation. The projection was that the partnership alone has the potential to expand job creation from 800 to over 2,000 employees. I think it was during Gov. Rochas’s 2nd tenure. They were turned down because the business proposal ROI was going to take longer and the present administration will be likely out of office by then. Today, the plantation is laying in ruins. https://dailytrust.com/hope-for-adapalm-imos-wasting-asset/ |

correctguy101: I reckon with your submission. Mental laxity and lack of visionary leadership contributed hugely to the present state of the African society and political ecosystem. The West understood early enough how the world works; it’s similar to the animal kingdom where the strong rules and the feeble follow. They took advantage and played this to their strengths. Made geographical advancement and strategically established colonies. Then after setting the pace for development in their region, they came up with codes of conduct, principles and trading agreements via UN, UNICEF, ICC, . . . to secure their loot. In the grand scheme of things the most powerful almost and always rule. Lately, there’s been a paradigm shift of power from military strength to trade wars and control of vital natural resources and infrastructure. My concern is that the African leadership has no balls to upstage and take their destiny into their hands. They have no zeal to correct the mistakes of centuries past when they sold their countrymen for mirrors, gunpowder and tobacco. It’s a shame! Back to the present. Africa needs young visionary leadership but sadly, democracy makes it difficult. 1 Like 1 Share |

Handing over your leash to another master ain’t freedom. The real flex is being in total control of your affairs without external interference. Sadly, no African government have had a taste of what sovereignty entails. 41 Likes 3 Shares |

Gerrard59: Chimamandan Adichie as the face of feminism in contemporary and of Igbo descent gives a false projection of Igbo women as being the Centre of feminism. I could easily counter that by saying that Funmilayo Ransom Kuti is the pioneer of feminism in Nigeria. As with all noble ideologies, core values are being watered down with passage of time. Cultism, Feminism, religion. . . just name it. Can you point me to statistics that underline your assertion that Igbo women are at the center of feminism in Nigeria? |

Humans are by default selfish, capitalist and animalistic (we’re higher animals after all). The only way to tame these traits is by having a solid system that rewards good and punishes misconduct.

Career / Re: Recapitalization: Jobs Losses Loom As Nigerian Banks Battle To Escape Extinction by wwwtortoise(m): 10:04am On Apr 02 |
Job losses are inevitable when such directive is implemented. Without mincing words I would say the recapitalization thing is a good move to restore investor confidence and attract FDI. But knowing the FG and her soiled reputation, I will remain skeptical and observe how it unfolds and events that’ll follow. Only if the recap will give Nigeria a spot in the top 10 banks in Africa by market cap. I have a feeling the next move by Cardi B will be to create a new currency higher than Clement Isong paper. 2 Likes |
